Would anyone be interested in a book auction facility at The Book Forum.
A similar system to ebay (though not as advanced, I have to admit), but specific to books. Buy, swap and sell new, used, rare books etc...
It would have a different membership system to the forums and the rest of the site. Sellers and bidders would not have to be registerd members of the forums, but would need to register through the auction system.
Payment to sellers would be a private matter between buyer and seller, but there would be a feedback system (similar to ebay).
Auctions would be free initially, but perhaps a small listing fee later on if they become popular (to help to pay for the hosting and software licenses for the site). This fee would be cheaper than ebay, either a fixed fee or a percentage of the list price?
Any thoughts, suggestions?
